Union Berlin forward Taiwo Awoniyi was once again on target for German Bundesliga side Union Berlin to save them from what would have been a potential shock exit in the German Cup.
Awoniyi scored the second goal of a hard fought 3-1 win over SV Waldhof in the DFB-Pokal cup with coach of the Nigerian team Gernot Rohr among the spectators at the stadium.
Rohr is currently on a scouting mission in Germany and as part of his brief took out time to watch the lanky forward in action and he wasn’t let down by the former Liverpool teen forward.
The goal is the seventh in a row for the forward who was a part of the Nigerian team for the last round of international games making his debut in the shock 0-1 loss at home to Central Africa Republic (CAR).
He didn’t get to play in the reverse tie which Nigeria won 2-0 but his club form puts him in a strong position to be handed another chance with the list of players for the next round of games in the World Cup qualifiers set to be released next week.
24 year old Awoniyi has scored seven games in his last six games for Union Berlin since scoring against Israeli side Maccabi Haifa in the European Conference League on the 30th of September.
Since then he has scored a brace against Mainz O5 and further goals against Feyenoord , Stuggart before yesterday’s strike against Waldhof.
